One Good Turn: A Novel 56 reviews Kate Atkinson
Back Bay Books, 2007
A perfect piece of literature!
+ Great read! + Convoluted mystery, told in a compulsively readable fashion.
This is what a great book is all about: Intrigue, surprise, brilliant, witty writing and great character development. A perfect mix of can't-put-down and great writing, Atkinson is up there with my all-time favorites, Jim Crace, John Banville, and Ian McKewan.
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ...

The Interior: A Red Princess Mystery (Red Princess Mysteries) 3 reviews Lisa See
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007
I am hooked!
+ Nagging Little Detail + I too am hooked by Lisa See's Red Princess mysteries
I have to admit I have read every one of Lisa See's books. The Inspector Liu/Attorney Stark books are very different from her other books (Peony in Love, Snow Flower & the Secret Fan, On Gold Mountain), but what I love about this author is that each of her book is unique and full of surprises. I ...

The Race 34 reviews Richard North Patterson
Henry Holt and Co., 2007
This book is a Must Read!
+ Honesty? It's not on our policy list. + Keep Religion and Corporate Interests Out of Politics
With this book, Mr. Patterson has ascended to the rarified ranks of Tom Wolfe and Ayn Rand. This book is a Must Read for anyone interested in an insightful and poignant social commentary on the sad state of affairs of our body politic! If you liked Wolfe's "Bonfire" or "Fountainhead", you will ...

The Echo Maker: A Novel 96 reviews Richard Powers

+ Who's Who Anyway
Richard Powers demonstrates rare talent in an age of mediocrity. Look at the garbage on the bestsellers list: Patterson, Woods, Connor,
This book is true literature, a true rarity in the 20th or 21st century.

Grotesque (Vintage International) 35 reviews Natsuo Kirino
Vintage, 2008
Dark side of society. Oh, and CENSORSHIP
I read and loved OUT by Natsuo Kirino, so I felt like it was only natural for me to run out and buy GROTESQUE. I was not disappointed in any way--this reading experience has been both dark and illuminating. Each character (Yuriko, Miss Hirata, Kazue, and Zhang) has a different sort of struggle and ...

It adds a great deal to the feel of a book about historical events if the author is not only a good writer, but has a wide range of knowledge in the era written about. Everyone knows something about Shakespeare, but Carrell is also a good teacher and leads the reader through an experience that ...

I've read every one of the Lynley series and all I can say is they keep getting better and better. Each one leaves you wanting more. After the last book: What Came Before He Shot Her, I thought I surely would never want to pick up another ever again. It was a totally devastating turn of events, ...
